Clockify Alternative
Clockify is free.
But what's the real cost?
Clockify offers generous free plans but monetises through data practices and upsells that may not suit privacy-conscious users. Keeping Time keeps things simple: we track your time, not you.

What to consider before choosing Clockify
Third-party analytics
Clockify integrates with multiple external analytics providers. Your usage data — including what you track and when — passes through these services. Keeping Time uses none.
US data storage
Clockify stores data outside the EU. For organisations subject to GDPR, this requires careful assessment of data transfer mechanisms. Keeping Time's data stays in Europe.
Screenshot monitoring
Clockify's paid plans include employee screenshot capture and activity tracking. Keeping Time has no monitoring features and will never add them.
Business model
Clockify's free tier is generous because the company monetises through upsells and data practices. Keeping Time's future paid plan will be straightforward: pay for the product.
Simple, honest time tracking. Your data stays yours.
Free during beta. No credit card. No nonsense.
